Description Dave F 2011-12-15 13:21:41 UTC 
The current handbook says nothing about performing an "eselect locale set" in order to set the system locale.  This step should be included right after the one for performing "locale-gen."

that only sets LANG, which shouldn't be needed at that point. we have a whole separate utf-8 guide for managing all the various things one might need to do with system locales & languages.
